Must have been great to hear the 12 channel version. Though it is already very interesting with 2 channels.

I composed this piece for Chinabot 4th anniversary and performed it at Cafe OTO in London in July 2021. 
This piece was influenced by the recent lockdowns. During the lockdown I gradually felt that the walls of my room were getting thicker and closer to me. Thus I made a wall of overtones that is gradually getting louder and more prominent than the other sounds in the piece. Of course everything was
happening in my mind so other sounds on the electronic part represented what was happening in my mind, either as a conversation or just repetitive thoughts. The live qanun represented me sitting in my room surrounded by these walls trying to fight with these feelings and thoughts in my mind.

Every single sound in this piece's taken from my instrument (qanun).

Himlen Var was created with the support of EMS (Elektronmusikstudion) during three residency periods from 2013-2015. 

Himlen Var is based upon field-recordings made in the city of Stockholm and the outer Stockholm archipelago (particularly Blidö and Sandhamm), and the analogue synthesizers housed at Ems.

Thanks to:

The staff of Stockholm Public Library and Storkyrkan in Gamla Stan, for out of hours recording access;
Ems, for their support and kindness;
Audiorama, for premiering the work on 28th March 2015.

This is a stereo version of the work, which was written for a 12 channel system.

El Mahdy Jr - Ghost Tapes LP (Promo Edit from LP)

Bernard Parmegiani’s 'De Natura Sonorum' is a monolithic twelve-movement work of electronic music, premiered in 1975. In this arrangement for sextet of the second movement, Accidents/Harmoniques, I have set myself the impossible task of distilling the infinite world of electronic sound into something reproducible by acoustic instruments. Such a process can hold a lens to the parent work to see it in a new way, be a means to discover new techniques and sounds in instrumental composition, and opens questions of reducibility: What are the essential features of a work? To what extent can we say that such a reproduction is ‘the same’ or of the same category of its source material?

Commissioned and premiered by Standing Wave, 18 January 2018, Vancouver Symphony New Music Festival, The Orpheum.

Recording by Brian Chan

Accidents / Harmoniques (Bernard Parmegiani transcription) - Standing Wave

“Watching lichens grow” is inspired by a photo of a lichens plant of the specis lobaria pulmonaria. The plant appears as a combination of seaweed and a fungus which usually grows on tree trunks. It is very sensitive to changing habitat structures and woodland management.

The composition interjects moments of observation of soundscapes at various degrees of abstraction and rather erratic bursts of impulses. In a way the composition alludes to the struggle between the political-economic changes, demands of daily life and art, creating a spatial labyrinth the listener navigates.

"Watching Lichens Grow" is released by obs
